You back it up by winning and defending your titles, defending your position at the top. He's never defended a UFC title, despite being a two weight champion. McGregor didn't "move up" a weight class. He's been moving in and out of Lightweight and Featherweight his entire career. He boxed Mayweather at 154, pretty much Lightweight in the UFC. He's comfortable at both. When he actually "moved up" and fought Diaz, known as a very average fighter, he was taught a lesson. He tapped early in the first fight and just managed the decision in the 2nd. Woodley is a great fighter, not sure he could match Khabib though. GSP would beat all of 'em. |
Eh hello? He didn't move up and fight nate at lightweight. He moved up two weight classes to Welterweight. It's pretty unheard of ufc fighters doing that the way mcgregor did. Can't think of a similar situation ever.
Khabib is huge for lightweight and it's why he can dominate smaller fighters so easily. Woodley is a legit welterweight beast and would knock the living shit out of khabib. First of all khabib isn't taking woodley down. Secondly woodley probably could take khabib down. But he doesn't need to because he's got monster power in his hands and would light khabib up.
McGregor is a man who can make featherweight. Woodley could fight at middleweight. Khabib would have serious balls to take this fight but something tells me he'd rather take no risks and fight smaller lightweights.
